I expect my test user has sufficient privileges. It is in groups None, Administrators, Power Users, and User. I guess I'll try to learn more about the internals of w2k, more then I ever wanted to know, starting with ReportEventA(). Unfortunately my configure of cygwin-1.5.5-1 died looking for an errant install-sh. In case my w2k environment is insufficient to build cygwin from scratch, could you add a check of return code from ReportEventA()? That might shed light on the problem.
